1 Mapping routes to recovery and the role of recovery groups and communities Dr David Best Reader in Criminal Justice University of the West of Scotland Research pathway The myth of addiction attributions and myths The Maudsley clinical research years oppositional research Best et al (1997) Time of day of methadone consumption Best et al (1998) Eating too little, smoking and drinking too much: Wider lifestyle problems among methadone maintenance patients Auditing what goes on in clinical service The re-emergence of hope the developmental perspective and the recovery movement

2 So What Do Clients Typically Get in Treatment (1) Birmingham review In Birmingham based on 2806 clients in all treatment services Most clients are seen once a fortnight Mean length of last session = 46.6 minutes = One hour and thirty-three three minutes per month Or 18.6 hours per year Of which 10 minutes per session is therapeutic therapeutic = 4 hours of therapeutic activity per year Time spent (in minutes) in last drug working session Case Management Therapeutic Activity Links to other services Other Therapeutic Activity % of clients ever discussed Complementary therapies % discussed in last session 10.5% 3.2% Alcohol tx 9.3% 4.4% Harm reduction 68.3% 29.4% Motivational enhancement 1.5% 1.2% Relapse prevention 66.3% 34.0% Other structured interventions 22.7% 14.0% Care planning 78.8% 21.2% Best et al (in press)

4 So what are the grounds for optimism? 1. NTORS, DORIS and the evidence around abstinence oriented treatment 2. Taking a developmental perspective and learning from other fields 3. The recovery movement in the US 4. The emergence of a recovery movement in the UK 5. The coming together of a national policy and a genuine movement for change What can we learn from the developmental model of criminology Laub and Sampson (2004) follow-up study of adolescents from youth offending institutes followed up to the age of 70 Key predictors of change were successful relationships and stable employment Debate is about structure or function what comes first? Treatment can act as a turning point if it provides a window of opportunity for change, and there are available resources to sustain and support that change in real-life settings White (2007): and the concept of recovery communities

5 Sampson and Laub s Reformatory Sample followed from 15 to 70 Sampson and Laub s Reformatory Sample followed from 15 to 70

6 So what is unique about the careers perspective? It is generally a model of hope The Laub and Sampson model rejects a risk factors approach in favour of adult growth While recognising the chronic and relapsing nature of addiction, this is not seen as a life sentence Key concept of turning points Windows of opportunity for change The key turning points are psychological and social not biochemical Links to White s concept of monocultural and bicultural social networks Personal and social capital linking psychological and sociological models What are the resources at a person s disposal? What is their stake and commitment to the conventional values of society Laub and Sampson (2004) desistance predictors Attachment to a conventional person (spouse) Stable employment Transformation of personal identity Ageing Inter-personal skills Life and coping skills

7 The recovery agenda Alexandre Laudet (2008) Understanding recovery and identifying factors that promote or hinder it will require a number of paradigm shifts for addiction professionals, including moving from an acute care model to a chronic or long-term approach, and shifting the focus of research and service provision from symptoms to wellness What are the aims of recovery research? (William White, pers comm) shortening addiction careers extending recovery careers capitalizing on developmental opportunities for recovery initiation matching individuals to particular types of recovery support the styles and stages of long-term recovery to provide normative data for individuals, families and service workers

8 Key principles of the Road to Recovery Recovery is the explicit aim of all services A range of appropriate treatment and rehabilitation services should be available in each locale Treatment must integrate effectively with a wide range of generic servicees There is a commitment to establishing a Drug Recovery Network and to build the capacity of advocacy services So what is our own contribution to researching this? 1. The end of careers 2. Mapping recovery journeys and communities

9 1. End Of Careers Studies Sample of 187 former addicts (alcohol, cocaine and heroin) currently working in the addictions field, from total group of 228 former users 70% male Mean age = 45 years 92% white Worked in the field for an average of 7 years First publication looked at heroin users trying to give up Best et al (2008) What finally enabled participants to give up? Not at all A little Quite a lot A lot Physical health problems 19.6% 42.4% 15.2% 22.8% Psychological health problems 23.4% 18.1% 22.3% 36.2% Criminal justice 30.4% 26.1% 19.6% 23.9% Family pressures 36.0% 24.7% 21.3% 18.0% Work opportunities 76.5% 9.4% 9.4% 4.7% Support from partner 72.6% 15.5% 6.0% 6.0% Help from friends 37.9% 28.7% 14.9% 18.4% Tired of lifestyle 6.3% 4.2% 13.5% 76.0%

10 What enabled people to maintain abstinence? Not at all A little Quite a lot A lot Support from a partner 45.2% 20.0% 12.9% 21.9% Support from friends 14.5% 21.1% 16.9% 47.6% Moving away from drug using friends 16.1% 5.0% 18.0% 60.9% Having a job 31.2% 17.8% 18.5% 32.5% Having reasonable accommodation 10.3% 17.6% 26.1% 46.1% Religious or spiritual beliefs 22.3% 11.4% 16.3% 50.0% Key qualitative themes Key role of social learning Need to complement recovery belief with recovery of esteem and learning of skills People may move through and beyond mutual aid groups Incompatibility of treatment and mutual aid pathways

11 Preliminary Birmingham data Target was 100 participants in the study We have no researchers or paid staff on the project All data collected through a peer organisation At present, we have completed 141 peer interviews But running out of money Around 75% have requested training and support to become recovery advocates But where is maintained recovery> Preliminary Birmingham data Mean age of first heroin use 19.4 Age of first injection 22.2 (n=12) Total time heroin dependent 9.6 years Age of last heroin use 30.9 years Total time in methadone tx 5.1 years (n=18) Age of last methadone tx 30.7 Perceived age at start of recovery journey 29.4 years

12 Self-esteem and self-efficacy in treatment and recovery populations current treatment (BTEI) recovery - abstinent recovry - maintained Self-esteem Self-efficacy Conclusion Recovery research is better to do and should be generally inclusive and participative Recovery is about hope, and about self-determination The addictions field practitioners, researchers and policy makers need this agenda to dig themselves out of the pit of despond and green sludge This agenda is about de-medicalisation and deprofessionalisation Treatment is generally not very good, not very honest and is definitely not enough The beneficiaries should be users, families and communities As researchers we need to be humble about how little we know about recovery

Effectiveness of Treatment The Evidence The treatment programme at Castle Craig is based on the 12 Step abstinence model. This document describes the evidence for residential and 12 Step treatment programmes.

The use of illegal drugs in England is declining; people who need help to overcome drug dependency are getting it quicker; and more are completing their treatment and recovering drug treatment in ENGlaND:
